In the example illustrated in FIG. 10, the SNS information acquisition unit 51 of the user terminal 5 uses the SNS 3 API (Application Program Interface) as the user attribute 8 a of the users A to F, the group to which the user belongs in the company, and the user status. (Title, etc.)

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a state in which user information 8 is acquired by a plurality of user terminals 5 and transmitted to the event control module 1 in the present embodiment. The SNS information acquisition unit 51 of the user terminal 5 acquires the user attribute 8a via the Internet by a method such as calling the SNS 3 API, and the location information acquisition unit 52 receives the location information acquisition API or the like. The position information 8b of the user terminal 5 obtained by using GPS or the like is acquired. Further, the authentication information acquisition unit 53 of the user terminal 5 transmits a combination of an employee number (employee number) and a password input by the user to the authentication server via the authentication information API or the like. The authentication server that has received the combination of the employee number and the password determines whether or not the combination of the employee number and the password matches the employee number and password of the user of the user terminal 5 that is the determination target. The combination of the employee number and password for each user is held in advance by the authentication server. Upon completion of user authentication (identity confirmation), the authentication server transmits authentication information 8e to the user terminal 5 as the result of identity confirmation.

  When the user information 8 such as the user attribute 8a, the position information 8b, and the authentication information 8e is acquired, the user information transmission unit 54 of the user terminal 5 transmits the acquired user information 8 to the event control module 1. . Then, the user information receiving unit 22 of the event control module 1 receives the user information 8 transmitted from the user terminal 5. The time acquisition unit 23 of the event control module 1 acquires the current time 8d, and incorporates the acquired time into the user information 8 as the time when the user information 8 is acquired.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of the user information 8 acquired by the event control module 1 in the present embodiment. When the user information 8 is acquired, the process proceeds to the event occurrence determination process.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an overview of the event occurrence determination process according to the present embodiment. In the event occurrence determination process, the user information 8 and the event occurrence condition 93 are determined, and the event occurrence trigger and the event content storage location information 92 are transmitted to the user terminal 5 that satisfies the condition. Details of the event occurrence determination process will be described below.

  The event occurrence condition determination unit 24 reads the event occurrence condition 93 registered in advance in the event registration process in the preset phase from the auxiliary storage device 19 and compares it with the user information 8 acquired in the user information acquisition process. Event condition determination is performed.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a flow of event occurrence condition determination processing according to the present embodiment. The process shown in this flowchart is executed when the user information 8 is acquired by the user information receiving unit 22.

  In step S101, it is determined whether or not the attribute of the user using the user terminal 5 satisfies the attribute condition 93a. The event occurrence condition determination unit 24 determines whether or not the user attribute 8 a included in the acquired user information 8 satisfies the attribute condition 93 a set in the event occurrence condition 93. That is, in step S101, it is determined whether or not the user who uses the user terminal has a predetermined attribute.

In the example of the event information 9 shown in FIG. 7, “business group OR” is used as the attribute condition 93a.
Planning group OR development group "has been established. Therefore, the event occurrence condition determination unit 24 determines whether or not the user attribute 8a corresponds to at least one of a sales group, a planning group, and a development group. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the users A to E satisfy the attribute condition 93a, but the user F belongs to the office group and does not satisfy the attribute condition 93a.

  If it is determined that the user attribute does not satisfy the attribute condition 93a, the process proceeds to step S107. On the other hand, if it is determined that the user attribute satisfies the attribute condition 93a, the process proceeds to step S102.

  In step S102, it is determined whether or not the current position of the user terminal 5 satisfies the place condition 93b. The event occurrence condition determination unit 24 determines whether or not the current position indicated by the position information 8 b included in the acquired user information 8 satisfies the location condition 93 b set in the event occurrence condition 93. For example, when the position information 8b is indicated by latitude / longitude, the event occurrence condition determination unit 24 determines whether the latitude / longitude indicated by the position information 8b is within the latitude / longitude indicated by the place condition 93b. Thus, it is determined whether or not the current position indicated by the position information 8b included in the user information 8 satisfies the place condition 93b.

  In the example of the event information 9 shown in FIG. 7, “Tokyo head office (for sales group / planning group)” and “Osaka branch (for development group)” are set as the location condition 93b. For this reason, the event occurrence condition determination unit 24 determines that the current position indicated by the position information 8b for the users belonging to the sales group / planning group (users A, B, and E in the example shown in FIG. 12) is the Tokyo head office. Whether or not the current position indicated by the position information 8b is within the scope of the Osaka branch is determined for the users belonging to the development group (users C and D in the example shown in FIG. 12). Determine whether. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the users A to C, E, and F satisfy the location condition 93b, but the location information 8b of the user D indicates that the current location of the user D is Mt. Fuji and satisfies the location condition 93b. Absent.

  If it is determined that the location information 8b of the user terminal 5 does not satisfy the location condition 93b, the process proceeds to step S107. On the other hand, if it is determined that the position information 8b of the user terminal 5 satisfies the location condition 93b, the process proceeds to step S103.

  In step S103, it is determined whether or not the state of the set of user terminals 5 satisfies the set state condition 93c. The event occurrence condition determination unit 24 determines whether or not the state (aggregation state) of a predetermined user terminal 5 including other user terminals 5 satisfies the aggregation state condition 93c set in the event occurrence condition 93. judge. As the collective state condition 93c, for example, the number of users satisfying the place condition 93b (“n or more users satisfying the place condition” or the like), the specific user satisfying the place condition 93b (key person is It may be determined that the user is in a predetermined place), a narrowing condition that the user must further satisfy, and the like.

  The information of the set state 8c used for the determination using the set state condition 93c refers to the set of user information including the user information 8 of the other user terminals 5 accumulated by the event control module 1 shown in FIG. The collective state can be acquired by performing an analysis process according to the collective state condition. For example, when the collective state condition 93c is “n or more users who satisfy the location condition among users who satisfy the attribute condition”, the event occurrence condition determination unit 24 determines that the other user terminals 5 satisfy the attribute condition. By referring to a set of user information including the user information 8 and counting the number of users that satisfy the location condition, the set state can be acquired. Further, for example, when the set state condition 93 c is “a specific user satisfies the place condition 93 b”, the event occurrence condition determination unit 24 selects a set of user information including the user information 8 of the other user terminals 5. By referring to and determining whether or not the specific user satisfies the place condition 93b, the collective state can be acquired.

  In the example of the event information 9 shown in FIG. 7, “the manager of the user is accompanied at each place” is set as the collective state condition 93c. For this reason, the event occurrence condition determination unit 24 is a user who is a manager within the scope of the Tokyo head office for users belonging to the sales group / planning group (in the example shown in FIG. 12, users A, B, and E). For users belonging to the development group (users C and D in the example shown in FIG. 12), it is determined whether there are users who are managers within the scope of the Osaka branch. In the example shown in FIG. 12, for user A and B, user A who is a manager (department manager) of the sales group satisfies the collective state condition 93c because he is at the Tokyo head office, and for users C and D, Since the user C who is a manager (manager) is in the Osaka branch, the meeting state condition 93c is satisfied, but the user E does not satisfy the meeting state condition 93c because the manager of the planning group is not in the Tokyo head office.

  If it is determined that the set state of the user terminals 5 does not satisfy the set state condition 93c, the process proceeds to step S107. On the other hand, when it is determined that the set state of the user terminals 5 satisfies the set state condition 93c, the process proceeds to step S104.

  In step S104, it is determined whether or not the current time 8d satisfies the time condition 93d. The event occurrence condition determination unit 24 determines whether or not the current time 8d included in the acquired user information 8 satisfies the time condition 93d set in the event occurrence condition 93. More specifically, the event occurrence condition determination unit 24 determines whether or not the current time 8d is after the start time indicated by the time condition 93d and before the end time by determining whether or not the current time 8d is before the end time. It is determined whether or not the time condition 93d is satisfied. However, only one of the start time and the end time may be set in the time condition 93d.

  In the example of the event information 9 shown in FIG. 7, “the time zone during the meeting (August 17, 13: 00-18: 00)” is set as the time condition 93d. For this reason, the event occurrence condition determination unit 24 determines whether or not the current time 8d is after 13:00 on August 17 and before 18:00. In the example illustrated in FIG. 12, the event occurrence condition determination process is executed during a meeting, and all of the users A to F satisfy the time condition 93d.

  If it is determined that the current time 8d does not satisfy the time condition 93d, the process proceeds to step S107. On the other hand, if it is determined that the current time 8d satisfies the time condition 93d, the process proceeds to step S105.

  In step S105, it is determined whether or not the authentication information 8e of the user terminal 5 satisfies the authentication condition 93e. The event occurrence condition determination unit 24 determines whether the authentication information 8 e included in the acquired user information 8 satisfies the authentication condition 93 e set in the event occurrence condition 93.

  In the example of the event information 9 shown in FIG. 7, “input of employee number and password” is set as the authentication condition 93e. For this reason, the event occurrence condition determination unit 24 refers to whether or not the user information 8 includes authentication information 8e indicating that the employee number and the password are input and the authentication server confirms the identity. Judge with. In the example shown in FIG. 12, all of the users A to F satisfy the authentication condition 93e. In this embodiment, the user information 8 includes the authentication result by the authentication server as the authentication information 8e, and the determination is made with reference to this, but instead of such a method, the user information 8 includes The employee number and password are included, and the event control module 1 may determine whether the authentication condition 93e is satisfied by determining the validity of the employee number and password.

  If it is determined that the authentication information 8e does not satisfy the authentication condition 93e, the process proceeds to step S107. On the other hand, if it is determined that the authentication information 8e satisfies the authentication condition 93e, the process proceeds to step S106.

  In step S106, an event occurrence trigger is transmitted. The event generation trigger transmission unit 25 determines that the event generation condition 93 is satisfied and transmits an event generation trigger to the user terminal 5 when the conditions are satisfied in all the determinations from step S101 to step S105. To do.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of the event occurrence condition determination result according to the present embodiment. In the example illustrated in FIG. 15, for the users A to C, the event generation trigger is transmitted by the event generation trigger transmission unit 25 because the event generation condition 93 is satisfied. On the other hand, for the users D to F, the event occurrence trigger is not transmitted because the event occurrence condition 93 is not satisfied. Thereafter, the processing shown in this flowchart ends, and the processing proceeds to event generation processing.

  In step S107, an error message is output. The event control module 1 determines that the event occurrence condition 93 is not satisfied and transmits an error message to the user terminal 5 when the condition is not satisfied in any determination from step S101 to step S105. . In the example shown in FIG. 15, since the event occurrence condition 93 is not satisfied for the users D to F, an error message is transmitted. Thereafter, the processing shown in this flowchart ends.

  However, the error message may not be transmitted in step S107. For example, for an event for which it is not desirable to output an error message, such as an event that automatically executes event occurrence condition determination processing and automatically occurs when the event occurrence condition 93 is satisfied, the error message is It does not have to be sent. On the other hand, an error message may be transmitted for an event that preferably notifies the user that an event does not occur, such as an event that executes an event occurrence condition determination process in response to a request for an event by the user.

  Referring to FIG. 13 again, the process flow when it is determined that the event occurrence condition 93 is satisfied in the event occurrence condition determination process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 14 will be described. As described above (see step S106 in FIG. 14), the event occurrence trigger transmission unit 25 transmits an event occurrence trigger to the user terminal 5 when the event occurrence condition 93 is satisfied. The transmitted event occurrence trigger is received by the event occurrence trigger receiving unit 56 of the user terminal 5.

Further, the event content storage location information transmission unit 26 of the event control module 1 reads the event content storage location information 92 corresponding to the satisfied event occurrence condition 93 from the auxiliary storage device 19 and transmits it to the user terminal 5. . When receiving the event content storage location information 92, the event content receiving unit 55 of the user terminal 5 refers to the event content storage location information 92, accesses the storage 2 indicated by the event content storage location information 92, and The event content 91 corresponding to the satisfied event occurrence condition 93 is acquired from the storage 2. Thereafter, the processing proceeds to event generation processing.

  In the present embodiment, the event content storage location information 92 and the event content 91 are acquired by the user terminal 5 when the event occurrence condition 93 is satisfied, but the event content storage location information 92 and the event content 91 are: It may be acquired in advance by the user terminal 5 (before the event occurrence condition 93 is satisfied). In this way, when the event generation condition 93 is satisfied, an event can be generated only by issuing an event generation trigger.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an overview of event generation processing according to the present embodiment. When the event occurrence trigger is received by the event occurrence trigger receiving unit 56, the event execution unit 57 of the user terminal 5 generates an event according to the event content 91. As described above, the occurrence of an event may be execution of a predetermined event software, or may be an issuance of an instruction (command) for a predetermined function.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of an event occurrence state for each user terminal 5 in the present embodiment. In the example shown in FIG. 15, since the users A, B, and C satisfy all the event generation conditions 93, each terminal receives the event generation trigger and the event content storage location information 92, and the event content 91 “confidential document” is received. Event "can be generated (see FIG. 17). On the other hand, since the user D does not satisfy the place condition 93b, the user E does not satisfy the set condition state, and the user F does not satisfy the attribute condition 93a, the event occurrence trigger and the event content storage location information 92 cannot be received, and the event content 91 cannot be acquired (see FIG. 17). Further, even if the users D to F try to receive the event content 91 at a later date, the user D to F cannot satisfy the time condition 93d, and therefore cannot receive the event occurrence trigger and the event content storage location information 92. Can not get.

  Also, the event content 91 or the event content storage location information 92 is encrypted, and the event occurrence trigger transmission unit 25 uses the event as a decryption key for decrypting the encrypted event content 91 or the event content storage location information 92. The generation of an event may be permitted or instructed by issuing a generation trigger. By doing in this way, even if the user terminal 5 tries to generate an event in a state where the event generation condition 93 is not satisfied, the event content 91 or the event content storage location information 92 cannot be decoded. That is, according to such a mechanism, it is possible to prevent an event from being illegally generated by the user.

<Variation>
Next, variations of the embodiment in the case of implementing the system according to the present disclosure will be described.

  In the embodiment described above, among the information included in the event information 9, the event occurrence condition 93 and the event content storage location information 92 are registered from the event registration terminal 4 to the event control module 1, and the event content 91 is registered in the event registration. Although an example in which data is directly stored in the storage 2 from the terminal 4 has been described, the registration route of the event information 9 may be various.

FIG. 18 is a diagram showing variations of event registration. FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an outline of a functional configuration of the event control module 1 in the variation shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 18, event content 91, event occurrence condition 93 and event content storage location information 92 included in event information 9 are once transmitted from event registration terminal 4 to event control module 1. Then, the event control module 1 registers the event occurrence condition 93 and the event content storage location information 92 among them, transfers the event content 91 to the storage 2 and stores it in the storage 2. Therefore, the event control module 1 according to this variation further includes an event content passing function by the event content passing unit 27 in addition to the function described above with reference to FIG. 3C (see FIG. 19).

  In the embodiment described above, as an event generation mechanism when the event generation condition 93 is satisfied, the event generation trigger and the event content storage location information 92 are transmitted to the user terminal 5 by the event control module 1, The user terminal 5 that has received this refers to the event content storage location information 92, goes to the storage 2 for the event content 91, and the user terminal 5 generates an event. Instead of the mechanism, another event generation mechanism may be adopted.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a mechanism of event generation when an event is generated in the storage 2. FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an outline of a functional configuration of the event control module 1 in the variation shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 20, when the event generation condition 93 is satisfied, first, the event control module 1 refers to the event content storage location information 92 and transmits an event generation trigger to the storage 2. An event occurs when the event occurrence trigger and the event content 91 are arranged in the storage 2. For this reason, the event control module 1 according to this variation may not include the event content storage location information transmission unit 26 described above with reference to FIG. 3C. Further, the event generation trigger transmission unit 25 of the event control module 1 transmits an event generation trigger to the storage 2 (see FIG. 21).

  FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating a mechanism of event generation when an event is generated in the user terminal 5. FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an outline of a functional configuration of the event control module 1 in the variation shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 22, when the event generation condition 93 is satisfied, first, the event control module 1 refers to the event content storage location information 92 and goes to the storage 2 for the event content 91. Then, the event control module 1 transmits the event content 91 and the event occurrence trigger to the user terminal 5, so that the event occurrence trigger and the event content 91 are aligned in the user terminal 5, and an event is generated. Therefore, the event control module 1 according to this variation stores the event content storage location information 92 by referring to the event content storage location information 92 instead of the event occurrence trigger transmission portion 25 and the event content storage location information transmission portion 26 described above with reference to FIG. 3C. 2 includes an event content acquisition unit 28 that acquires the event content 91 from 2 and an event content transmission unit 29 that transmits the event content 91 to the user terminal 5 (see FIG. 23).

FIG. 24 is a diagram showing an event generation mechanism when an event is generated in the event control module 1. FIG. 25 is a diagram showing an outline of a functional configuration of the event control module 1 in the variation shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 24, when the event occurrence condition 93 is satisfied, first, the event control module 1 refers to the event content storage location information 92 and goes to the storage 2 for the event content 91. An event occurs when the event occurrence trigger and the event content 91 are aligned in the event control module 1. Therefore, the event control module 1 according to this variation stores the event content storage location information 92 by referring to the event content storage location information 92 instead of the event occurrence trigger transmission portion 25 and the event content storage location information transmission portion 26 described above with reference to FIG. 3C. 2, an event content acquisition unit 28 that acquires event content 91, an event occurrence trigger, and event content 9
And an event execution unit 30 that generates an event when 1 is aligned (see FIG. 25).

<System usage example>
Next, a specific example of a system to which the present disclosure can be applied will be described.

(Game system)
FIG. 26 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the system according to the present embodiment is applied to a game system in which a plurality of users are connected to each other via a network using the respective user terminals 5 and played simultaneously. In the present embodiment, the user terminal 5 has a game function in addition to the functions described above. This game is a game for the purpose of acquiring a privilege and an item which can be used in a game, for example, in which a plurality of users cooperate to defeat a monster.

  27A to 27D are diagrams showing examples of event information 9 registered when the system according to the present embodiment is applied to a game system. Among these, in the example shown in FIG. 27A to FIG. 27C, team α shown in FIG. 26 has two or more of the teams in Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Sky Tree or Akihabara during the campaign period (August). In some cases, an event can be generated. Events to be generated here are the appearance of limited monsters, acquisition of special equipment during the game, and lottery for acquiring rare items during the game. Further, according to the event information 9 shown in FIG. 27B, it is set as the authentication condition 93e that the limited monster that appears in the event related to the event information 9 shown in FIG. In this way, a plurality of events may be related.

  According to such an example, the game provider can enhance the advertising effect in cooperation with the sightseeing spot set in the place condition 93b, and the sightseeing spot etc. set in the place condition 93b You can use it to attract customers. In addition, the user can also play a game or obtain a privilege while interacting with other users.

  In the example shown in FIG. 27D, “the collection of three or more players (users) who do not belong to the same group” is set as the collective state condition 93c, and the event content 91 is “3-4. "Grouping people automatically". In this way, users who do not normally form a team can gather to form a new team and play a game. That is, by setting such event information 9, when a user arrives at a venue (a store collaborating with a game company or the like), a team is automatically formed and a game is played with the team. After play by the automatically formed team, this team may be canceled or continued as it is.

(Regional community cooperation system)
FIG. 28 is a diagram showing an example of event information 9 registered when the system according to the present embodiment is applied to a community cooperation system. Conventionally, in communities such as schools, regions, and PTA, measures are taken to prevent children from getting involved in traffic accidents and crimes when they go to school. Specifically, there are two or three adults standing at school bus stops and pedestrian crossings during school hours to watch over children. This role is on duty.

  In addition, police and schools provide suspicious person information in the school district, but handling is necessary to protect personal information and the safety of the people concerned. Since it is necessary to be careful when distributing a large number of copies, it is usually necessary to circulate a limited number of copies. There are problems such as being unable to browse slowly, being printed on paper, so it is troublesome to search for necessary information, and the latest information cannot be obtained.

  Therefore, by setting event information 9 as shown in FIG. 28 and allowing the user terminal 5 to browse only when the event condition is satisfied, the convenience of information browsing can be improved.

  FIG. 29 is a diagram showing an event occurrence state when the system according to the present embodiment is operated with the event information 9 shown in FIG. When the users A and B are standing at the intersection of the school district 1 together at school hours after 8:00 on weekdays and before 9:30, the event occurrence condition 93 shown in the event information 9 is satisfied. A and B can view suspicious person information of school district 1. Similarly, when the users C and D are standing at the intersection of the school district 2 together at the school hours after 8:00 on weekdays and before 9:30, the event occurrence condition 93 shown in the event information 9 is satisfied. Therefore, the suspicious person information of school district 2 can be browsed. However, the suspicious person information cannot be browsed even when the users A and B or the users C and D stand together at a predetermined intersection in the time zone that is not the school attending time zone.

  In addition, users E and F are standing at the intersection of school district 2 together at school hours after 8:00 on weekdays and before 9:30, but user F has the attribute condition “group → PTA member group”. The user E does not satisfy 93a, and the user E does not satisfy the collective state condition 93c that “there are two or more PTA members”. Therefore, the users E and F cannot view the suspicious person information. In addition, the users G and H are in the same place in the commuting time period after 8:00 on weekdays and before 9:30, but both of them do not satisfy the place condition 93b of “inside the school district”. Information cannot be viewed.

(Orienteering system)
FIG. 30 is a diagram illustrating an example of event information 9 registered when the system according to the present embodiment is applied to an orienteering system. Traditionally, in the team activities of Orienteering, even if there were teams that did not act by everyone, but went around each point and performed only the goal with the team, it was difficult for the management side to grasp this.

  Therefore, in the event information 9 as shown in FIG. 30, a collective state condition 93c that “all team members are available” is set, and the event content 91 is “notify the operator of the point passing status of the team”. By doing so, it becomes possible for the management side to grasp fraud.

  FIG. 31 is a diagram showing an event occurrence state when the system according to the present embodiment is operated with the event information 9 shown in FIG. When the team passes the command point, the operator can receive the passing status for the team having all the team members.

  In addition, since “viewing commands by AR (Augmented Reality) tag” is set as the event content 91, a privilege that all teams are available can be given to the orienteering participants. As shown in FIG. 31, the AR tag is an image that is displayed on the display of the user terminal 5 so as to be superimposed on the image captured by the camera of the user terminal 5, and can provide information necessary for the progress of orienteering. I can do it.

(Conference management system)
32A and 32B are diagrams illustrating examples of event information 9 registered when the system according to the present embodiment is applied to a conference management system. When this meeting is a meeting that handles secret information, it is important to ensure the security of the materials that are viewed in the meeting.

According to the event occurrence condition 93 set in the event information 9 shown in FIG. 32A, it is necessary that all the participants who have been identified from the board group are not in the meeting place during the meeting time. Cannot be viewed. However, the “branch” of the location condition 93b “headquarters OR branch” shown in FIG. 32A can be added by generating the event “new branch establishment” related to the event information 9 shown in FIG. 32B. I can do it. That is, according to this embodiment, even if not all of the pre-set branch offices are available, two or more users who have been verified and who belong to the board group are newly established in the meeting time zone. By being at the place where the establishment is desired, the place can be newly set as a branch, and then the event shown in FIG. 32A can be generated to browse the material.

(Shared notebook system)
33A to 33C are diagrams showing examples of event information 9 registered when the system according to the present embodiment is applied to a shared notebook system. The shared notebook system is a system that provides a shared online notebook service to a plurality of users (sharers), and the shared notebook can be shared by, for example, a lover, a couple, a family, and the like.

  According to this embodiment, a user who is a sharer (for example, lovers) in the user attribute 8a generates an event related to the event information 9 in FIG. A place visited simultaneously by a person) can be registered as the place condition 93b of the event condition according to FIGS. 33B and 33C. Then, by generating an event related to the event information 9 in FIG. 33B at the registered location, “memory registration” such as photo + annotation, comment, AR tag, SNS posting, etc. at the location of the memory (event contents in FIG. 33B) 91). Also, when a registered place is visited again by a plurality of sharers at the same time, an event (event) according to event information 9 in FIG. “Remembrance Reproduction” (event content 91 in FIG. 33C) of viewing a photograph or SNS post can be performed. The event content 91 “memory registration” in FIG. 33B is generated when a registered place is visited again by a plurality of sharers, and “memory registration” such as a photograph + annotation, comment, AR tag, SNS post, etc. is performed. Can be added.

(Information distribution system)
FIG. 34 is a diagram showing an example of event information 9 registered when the system according to the present embodiment is applied to an information distribution system.

  In this embodiment, when a store (such as a restaurant) set in the place condition 93b is first visited, the user is allowed to register a group to which a plurality of users who have visited the store together belong. The user can create a group of SNS3 by a method of specifying identification information in SNS3 of a user belonging to the group using the user terminal 5 and transmitting the information to SNS3. In this way, when two or more (not all) members of the group visit the restaurant area again, an event related to event information 9 in FIG. "Today's recommended information / coupon distribution" will be held.

  In the event information 9 of FIG. 34, a plurality of time conditions 93d are set, and the distributed coupons differ depending on which time condition 93d is satisfied. In the event occurrence condition determination process described with reference to FIG. 14, whether or not the attribute condition 93a, the place condition 93b, the collective state condition 93c, the time condition 93d, and the authentication condition 93e included in the event occurrence condition 93 associated with the event are satisfied. However, a plurality of branches may be set within each condition, and an event generated according to the result of the branch may have a variation. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 34, in addition to whether or not the time condition 93d is satisfied, there are three time conditions 93d (10: 0 to 13:00, 16: 0 to 20:00, and 21:00). 22:00), the content of the distributed coupon changes.

<Effect>
According to the system according to the present embodiment, in a system that controls an event using position information, it is possible to improve flexibility while ensuring safety.
